@PG-kia
Really a big failure for Ideal Property to allow gangster to collect sampah fees for all their projects, pls share around to your friend so that more ppl are aware of this issue. Shame on the Ideal Property CEO who come out a statement in years ago ” said that no gangster collecting sampah fee for their projects” …….what a contradict statement. Can’t be trusted.

Management of the OI need pay high attention for their facilities, noticed that the swimming pool not always maintain and very dirty. it’s price at OI over market value? because surrounding of OI had many development and very high density.

OI & IR is located at the middle of this high dense and crowded area surrounding by many high rise building & coming projects, 3 mosques, 3 schools, wet market, LMC & low cost flats should be very congested & high population in future.

@calvin
What to do? This is the only place in island where you still can get affordable and reasonable pricing with new and fair facilities condo.
Or may be you can enlighten us where can get a better one in island?

For me. The schools and wet market is an advantages for OI owner.
In fact, we can save on transportation cost when the children go for schooling.
Walking distance to wet market is a blessing for senior uncle and aunty, no hassle to look for parking and driving.

If LRT only available at Spice, it will be better to build overhead pedestrian corridor with air cond (like those in HK) link to Relau area eg OI and IR and many more new condo and new schools in that area.

@Ranee
Good idea. I believe the state gov will do sth about it to make sure all residence in this neighbourhood will benefit fully with the implementation of the LRT system. This area has potential. In a 10 years horizon, the properties in this area will be moving northward. We shall wait and see

Why OI have become foreigner place? Is this news true that many foreigners are renting there now or just rumours? Security and safety could be compromised if this is true and is the management or commitee doing something?

An associate of mine moved in to this place just over a month ago. I visited him there twice last week. He has yet to see any unit rented to foreign workers, not even one, which I find not surprising at all. But I just had to ask him because I saw too many comments here claiming that this place is infested with foreign workers. To those who are worried about this claim, all you have to do is ask yourself this question:

“Would a property owner with a decent-sized brain, buy a property that cost him in the regions of 500k – 600k, and rent it out to foreign workers for around 1k a month?”. Worse, if he rents it out, he makes his property less desirable, hence reducing his chances of ‘flipping’ this property by selling it off at a higher price. Use a bit of logic and you’ll see why this practice makes very little sense.

And think about it guys. If a 500k property is meant for ‘Banglas’ or ‘Nepalese’, then what are those Low-Cost & Low-Medium-Cost apartments which cost below 200k are for? Cows and goats? Logic guys. Logic.

Or better yet, don’t listen to me or any of the comments above, pick up the phone, call an agent and arrange to see the property yourself. There. All done. Cut through the childish nonsense in this chatroom with just a physical visit. Simple as that.

Are you sure RM500k/600k unit wont have any foreigner? I assumed you just came from Penang mainland. RM500k/600k in penang is very common price for apartment/condo. A low medium cost house easily can fetch price of RM400k. If you haven’t seen any house above RM500k rented to foreigner, I advised you do some survey first. Even RM1mil+ house also got foreigner workers, they rent your unit but they are sharing over 20persons. If you make a call to agent or lawyer who handle this project, what you expect them to tell you? You expect they tell you honest words? they need to feed their family, they need money as well. Which person telling his own fruits are bad quality one?

kathlyn – Please understand first what is the indirect statement that “kawanbatukawan” is trying to explain. Since you dont understand, let me clarify that. In One Imperial , there is no bangla or Myanmar staying, swimming or using the the facilities inside One imperial. I dont care if bangla or Myanmar staying in jet plane also if its outside One imperial.

OI obtained OC only a few months, still cannot see anything. But after 2 years time u can see foreigner move in. Why??? Because investors unit a lot (under DIBS) nowadays difficult to let go, so they mostly rent to factory foreigners to cover their loan installment. Now we can see only 5% residents in OI. Nowadays foreign workers can found in bungalow or semiD also, rm500k is sub2 the water onlylah. Old LMC flats of BN houses can rent to foreigner, now under ROCKET Carpal Singh son new LMC cannot loh!!! Better use your brain to think about coming years, not only what we see now. We buy house is for long stay, must think about future. Unless u don’t care!!

Ghost#
Agreed!! Unless we don’t mind to stay with foreign workers at same area. Those dislike can shift to Chinese place such like Farlim, Lip Sin, Ayer Itam, Tanjung Bunga, Jelutong, Perak road etc. Why want to stay at Relau to be a neighbour with bangla & indons ???

@Ghost
Agreed!! Those dislike to stay at foreign worker area can shift to chinese area such like Farlim, Ayer Itam, Jelutong, Perak Road, Tanjung Bunga, Lip Sin, Green Lane, etc. Why want to stay at Relau to become the Bangla & Indons neighbour???

From OI junction (Golden Triangle) there can see some OI units hanging their cloths at the balcony & window look so ugly and noticed their units without any renovation (no curtain & iron cage), suspect rented to foreign workers.

You will have chance to see it very soon as my mnc company is looking for One imperial for my company operators.. just my mnc company, already have more than 3k foreigner operators.. try to imagine how many units if other company wanted to rent One Imperial for their operators too.. The location is near to my bayan lepas, secondly the foreigner like to stay at relau because convenient for them.. this house is not protected by any laws, so anyone willing to pay for the rental could get it immediately.. this is the worst problem… just like how our PM said One Malaysia.. One Imperial… When one Malaysia become banglasia, One imperial also become One Imperisial.. goodluck.. Investor definitely will not buy any subsales units of One imperial.. The second value going to be lesser and lesser.. advise you who want buy for ownstay, better sell it quickly before too late.. at least still got 5% profit and buy other place..

some of the buyer wouldn’t care.. they said live with them is good those who don’t have experience living with them didn’t know yet.. let them stay at relau for a while so they can figure out the problem..

I doubt your statement on your MNC company is looking for accommodation for their foreigner operators is true.
As I know,all big MNC company will not deal with this but instead will leave it to the agency of the operators.
You may verify this with your MNC HR dept.

In any event, we all know that proper management is one of the key factors leading to the property appreciate in value. And if there is really a problem with foreign operators, then I urge the owners to attend AGM to vote for rules that against renting to such companies.

A lot of bullshiters talking about foreign workers occupying OI. I am not worried at all. Get the keys, do the reno and stay. After all, everywhere is the same. Unless u r super rich and can afford landed property. Lol

Alicia Toe :No owner will rent out to such companies if it is going to make the value of the property depreciate.

MNC company is more reliable & stable for monthly collections compare to private tenant. House owner won’t let it units abandon for long time without any profit making. Actually property at Relau no depreciate happen so far ex. Sri Aman launching price rm75k now selling >rm200k, Marina Bay rm400k, Angsana rm400k, Desa Relau rm450k etc. Other than that there are no rules to control for rent out to foreign workers, the developer wont listen to u unless u are a super condo owners (millionaire level)

Ideal had confirmed that Aik Hua primary school will be located in front of OI. End up 3 schools, 3 mosques, wet market, >15 high rise building surrounded that area. It look so congested, crowded, high population, complicated place at Relau in future. Very ” chap & chat” !!!

Hong Kong, Singapore also many high rise buildings, congested, high population, supposedly also very chap if someone mentioned was right. But they are developed countries which Malaysia trying to catch up….

Gangster issue still persists. Encountered them and they are so greedy wanted big sum. I am planning to lodge a report if they continue to be unreasonable. Can anyone who lodged report previously please share the experience you had with pdrm, and what we write in the report to be more effective? Wanna make my report impactful to put more pressure on them. Hopefully this can help settle once and for all. The more the better…

By the way, in earlier posts there was a discussion regarding the OI chat group. May I join the group? Could any of the admin please contact me and advise how to join the group? Here’s my email: jqyang94@yahoo.com.my

@Alicia Toe
Rules are made by goverment. As long as the house owner not breaking the rules, they can do what they like especially the invest owners. Even the LMC flats also got bangla, how to control the investors??? Penang houses got value, not like mainland. So no depreciation happen

such a good project, with nice landscaping and facilities… i really dont understand why so many people keep telling fake news on foreigner bangla blah blah… perhaps, there are buyer from other property jealous on this project?

when the so called site gangster want to collect rubbish fee from me, i reluctant to pay any single cent to them and they blocked my contractors from going in, end up I log police report and police came and they kuai kuai allow my contractor go in to finish the job without any problem. so moral of the story, the site gangster just bully those give in to them. so just ignore them or call the police immediately infront of them.

By the way, anyone has any idea when Time Internet will come to OI? I’ve been requesting Time to come to OI since its surrounding new apartments are already covered – ie Golden Triangle, SR and GV – and OI has more units than these. But every time their answer was the standard “thank you for your feedback, currently we do not have coverage, but will look into it blah, blah, blah…” I believe if more of us request for this, then they will come sooner.

@williamyl
you’re not referring to the meeting to be held next tue (31st) right? i am not aware of a committee… was it set up by the residents?
may i know the time and venue? i’ll try my best to make it.

The first AGM will be held at Hotel Seri Malaysia on 31/5/16 at 6.30pm, to elect the members of the JMC, to determine the amount of service charge/sinking fund, the rate of interest chargeable on defaulters, to make any additional by-laws etc etc. All owners are encouraged to attend!

Reggie :
Yup I am aware… see you guys on 31st. Does it mean that the residents’ committee will be taking over from developer after this?

Jmb means joint management body. Dev n resident discuss n manage
When strata out, jmb dissolved n form MC aka Management Body, bahasa called Perbadanan Pengurusan
This whole committee is residents. They would decide on some of the things and daily operations are still handle by the Building Management engaged. So dont go and KPKB when things dont go your way
Go the Building Management. Any big issue, still need AGM n EGM with residents consensus.

Me no lawyer, so technically, my wordings might not be accurate, but this is roughly

@summer
as my experience that is not a renovation so they will not kacau one……
renovation mean totally build up the kitchen, wiring or add point of plug, hit the wall, install the new grill etc.
if you only install is not reno so you are not going to be charge anything.
This is basic neccesary installation.

I have yet renovate my unit, from the early posting on this forum shows there are quite a bit of complaint on the gangster inhouse contractor, is the situation getting better and how much sampah fees for minor renovation such as install light & fan and kitchen cabinet.

@williamyl
thanks for reply,
I am one of the owner of Ideal others development, wonder ideal got helping residences to nego with the internet services provider? or we need to gather all residence to apply ourself with the internet service provider. the development still in progress

i was surveying between tree sparina and one imperial… after all.. i prefer OI more because of the landscape and location.
i went for more than 10 times to verify issit alot of foreign worker… but i didnt see any except some worker who do renovation.. mostly are local… many fake info here… so do filter and verify your self….

90% units still empty, waiting to rent out. If no local ppl will rent to foreign workers. We have no choice. My hand got 4 units is quite heavy for me to hold for long time. If interested to buy or rent pls contact chooneik88@gmail.com

4 units!? You must be one greedy investor, I can start seeing the worst is soon to come to many of those new condos in Sungai Ara/Relau area, too many people buying for investment now finding it hard to sell or rent out due to the soft market and intense competition

Don’t have the holding power but still want to acquire so many units. Too bad there is a clause in Deed of Mutual Covenants for certain condo’s are not allow to use the unit as hostel for foreign workers. I believe OI should have this clause.

Only home stay units affected, but rent for factory foreign workers is legal through their employer or licensed agencies. Shineville Park & Reflection (friend neighbour) are one of them. I bought 4 units b’cos last time got DIBS lol but now I can’t afford already.

Not only OI 90% empty units. Garden, Sierra & G.Triangle OC obtained 1+ year already but only 20% residents only. Worry for the coming condos – IR, Iconic, Triangle2 etc. Why built a lot of condos??? Where got own stay buyers?? Dont they know now is unwise for investment???

@Hong
This is very common and normal if the house still left empty as my last experience.
My new house also after OC obtain i take half year to complete my house due to looking for furniture and good carpenter, internet concern and etc.
All of this work will drag time…..
It is take 2 years to fill up the almost 90% residence normally.

Some said that it is crowded because of 700+ unit over 5 blocks.. But what they did not tell/understand is that, this 700+ units were built on a big piece of land. It is really big! 5 block is at least better than 2 block but you have 40 storey high rise, am i right? Plus the resort style of facilities, make it really nice for family stay. At that area, one imperial is considered the best deal.

Yes, always consider the land area. The density can be calculated by unit per acre.

Density is directly proportionate to no. of units, and inversely proportionate to land area.

Hence, the more the units, the higher the density. And the bigger the land, the lower the density.

In developed cities, unit per land area is an essential factor for property investment.

@Owner
Land big but useless (only for outdoor parking), small & limited resort facilities & 1 guard house only not enough to suit the 768 units residents. For 2 blocks 40 storeys they only have 400 units is more low dense then OI, OI is only the outlook & color make it attractive & impressive, other than that no worth at all

@Owner
Big piece of land if all the resort facilities can found that is OK such like The Clovers, Tree Sparina, Center Park etc. But now new condos all facilities mostly built at the top of multi storey car park or top floor like OI, worthless!!

This area encounter the flash flood when heavy raining come at the G.Triangle traffic light junction just beside the primary school causing traffic jam at that area and OI ppl sure no way to go in & out. Hahaha!!!
